And, knowing Walsh, do you really think he does that without a plan? That guy has a plan for going to the bathroom. I'm not saying Lebron is going there. All I am saying is that there will be two max contracts in New York this summer. That I would wager on.

There are only 3 guys worth max contracts and I just dont see 2 of them going to NY. Personally I think that they had no choice but to purge that roster and free up cap space. But If they dont get Lebron or Wade they are still going to have to come up with a team. And how many teams can be built strictly via trades and free agency?

I just saw the Bulls trades. They did exactly what they needed to do. Got rid of Thomas and Salmons.

I can't believe they did something that actually worked out well for them. Gar Forman for President!@

But thats my point. This isn't Wes Unseld or Isaiah riding this horse. This is Donnie Walsh. Is he really going to give away unprotected draft picks to free up that kind of space when all he has to rely on is hope especially considering those contracts would be gone by the following summer anyway?

Walsh has been given some kind of assurance that he will have a reasonable shot at landing two big free agents. That is pure speculation but that guy has a track record for being smarter than most everyone else in the room.

I think the Knicks stuff is awesome. We will get to return to the LeBron is DEFINITELY going to NY stories nonstop again. I have heard it already in the national media. Good stuff.

I'm just waiting for the playoff implosion. The cavs have overcome the worst bench coach to ever grace the hardwood. Once the real season starts he will get his pants coached off again. Lebron will leave and we will be stuck w Z, 83 year old Shaq. Delante should be in prison by next year so I suppose we can rebuild around jamario moon. If that's not depressing enough w/ spring right around the corner Shapiro has another AAA team ready to play .333 ball. A manager who was probably the worst availible. Maybe we will find another cy young winner to trade. If I want to go back for thirds we have anoter year of mangini!

In brigrer news the Cleveland gladiators, of arena league fame just signed a new qb. Apparently he was MVP of the arena league bowl 8 seasons ago. I'm hanging my hat on that for now
